2 x US marine corps (SB2U3) versions.
1 x US Navy (SB2U1) version.
2 x Royal Navy (Chesapeake Mk.I) Versions.
2 x French Navy (V156f) versions.

In Game Player Views, control notes:

Pilot Views- using F6 to cycle through:
Defualt view - Close Pilot view.
2nd view - Telescopic gun sight. (us versions only)
3rd view - Instrument view.
4th view - Pilot Wide view.

Gunner Views using F8 to cycle through:
Defualt view - Close gunner view.
2nd view - Wide gunner view.

Dive brakes on French version are activated and de-activated using the "D" key.
Flight Model needss to be set to hard in game options, otherwise abnormal flight behaviour will occur.

(Army Type 1 Fighter)
Set includes:
1 x IJAAF Ki-43-Ia version.
2 x IJAAF Ki-43-Ib versions.
2 x IJAAF Ki-43-Ic versions.

In Game Player Views, control notes:

Pilot Views- using F6 to cycle through:
Defualt view - Close Pilot view.

The Flight Model in game should be set to HARD, setting it to anything else will result in abnormal flight behaviour.

Great job,I now put the Vindacator in my Midway missions for there attack on the Japanese Fleet. It is mission 7 and it used a 1000lb bomb.Makes a work of difference in the mission.

The Vindicator should round out the line up for midway, I think we now nearly have all the aircraft involved. Good to hear about the mission.
 
Just occurred to me that the creators of this SB2U/V-156-F/Chesapeake quite possibly logged more man hours putting it together for us than the original versions actually logged in combat in real life! :medals:
 
By the way, I've completely forgot one thing: I have installed both Aeronautique Navale V-156-F in ETO and on both aircrafts, I have several gauges missiong. I didn't had the time to check which files are missing.


I really enoy flying this one, details in every aspects are amazing.
 
The Ki43 fits right in for my AVG and CATF missions I've been working on.Now I don't just have to use the Ki27 Nate.

Hi LZ,

I just had a quick look and the only non stock gauge image thats not in the vindicator_shared folder is a_gauges_1_no_alpha.dds this file is in the Buffalo set that Steve released a whiles back.

I have uploaded it here for you, I also just realised I have made a mistake with the country entry in the xdp file, its currently reads "france" when it should read "france_free" this is why the planes are showing in Britain rather than Frances country slot in game. I have attached the ammended xdp files with the gauge image.

I'll upload this fix to the download page as well.

regards Rob
